PARMA, Ohio Two people are dead following a shooting early Saturday morning at a local bar, and officials have confirmed one of the victims was an off-duty Cuyahoga County corrections officer.
Parma police say they responded to the incident at Rookie Sports Bar & Grill around 2:13 a.m. Witnesses said 29-year-old Sean Michael Acierno was shot in the parking lot before security guard Timoteo Tim Cruz, a CCW holder, returned fire. While Cruz managed to hit the alleged shooter with one of his bullets, he himself was gunned down, and he and Acierno both died at the scene.
